An Optimal Decay Estimation of the Solution to the Airy Equation Ms. Ashley Scherf University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Graduate Student In this thesis we investigate the initial value problem to the Airy equation ∂tu + ∂3xu = 0, (1) u(0, x)... Read More
CNH Markov Chain Based Forecasting Model Mr. Randolph Cole University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Graduate Student The purpose of this thesis is to develop a Markov Chain-based forecasting model that can accurately predict the future demand quantities of service parts for CNH... Read More
The earth mover's distance through the lens of algebraic combinatorics Mr. Brian Hospital University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Dissertator Under consideration are convergence results between optimality criteria for two canonical stochastic control problems: the long-term average problem and the α-discounted problem, where...

Collapses and Z-Compactifications of CAT(0) Cube Complexes Mr. Daniel Gulbrandsen University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Dissertator We extend the notion of collapsibility to non-compact cube complexes and prove collapsibility of locally-finite CAT(0) cube complexes. Namely, we construct such a cube complex X... Read More
Non-hyperbolic right-angled Coxeter groups with Menger curve boundary Mr. Cong He University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Dissertator We find a class of simplicial complexes as nerves of CAT(0) right-angled Coxeter groups, with boundary homeomorphic to the Menger curve. Our nerves are triangulations... Read More
Random quotients of hyperbolic groups and Property (T) Mr. Prayagdeep Parija University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Dissertator How does a random quotient of a group look like? Gromov looked at the density model of quotients of free groups. The density parameter d... Read More
On quantum and stochastic confinement Dr. Irina Nenciu Professor of Mathematics, Statistics, and Computer Science University of Illinois Chicago Our goal in this talk is to explore the broad question of confinement of particles to spatial domains. The first part... Read More
Hyperbolic groups and local connectivity In the 1980s Gromov introduced the family of hyperbolic groups, a family of finitely generated groups that are “negatively curved” in a certain sense. Hyperbolic groups share many features with the classical hyperbolic plane. The... Read More
